CAIR Sides with the Dead Terrorist
Radical Islamic front group CAIR comes out strongly on the side of a genocidal terrorist—again: CAIR Condemns Israeli Assassination of Religious Leader.
WASHINGTON, March 22 /PRNewswire/ — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today condemned the assassination of a wheelchair-bound Palestinian Muslim religious leader, calling it an act of “state terrorism.” …
In its statement, CAIR said:
“We condemn this violation of international law as an act of state terrorism by Ariel Sharon’s out-of-control government. Israel’s extra- judicial killing of an Islamic religious leader can only serve to perpetuate the cycle of violence throughout the region. The international community must now take concrete steps to help protect the Palestinian people against such wanton Israeli violence.
”We call on the United States to join its allies in condemning this political assassination and to make that condemnation meaningful by cutting the flow American-taxpayer dollars to Israel. It is these tax dollars that pay for the weapons Israel uses to carry out such illegal attacks. American repudiation of Israel’s brutal policies could also be demonstrated by the cancellation of Ariel Sharon’s upcoming visit to Washington.
“Bland administration statements urging ‘restraint by all parties’ will only be viewed internationally as tacit approval of Israel’s actions and will undermine our moral and legal basis for the war on terrorism.
”Until Israel views Palestinians as human beings, and not just animals to be slaughtered at will during ‘hunting season,’* there can be no viable and just resolution to the Middle East conflict. And until America adopts a truly even-handed approach to that conflict, our nation’s image will continue to suffer worldwide.”
